Cam/Headers/TC In a little less than a month I will be getting a F13, Pacesetter LTs+ORY, and a 3500/2.1 fuddleracing TC put in. I want to make sure I get everything possibly needed (minus tools) for all this to be installed. Also, anything else you would recommend to replace while Im in the engine, I've been looking at rockers but Im not sure the 1.7 rockers for $500 would be a good bang for the buck (still considering). So any suggestions? If I order things now I will still have time to get it all before my install date of May 14th.
Here is everything I currently have:
2 gallons unmixed dexcool
6 quarts mobil 1 synthetic
7 quarts mobil 1 ATF
Oil filter
Tranny filter/gasket
2 12" O2 extensions
Comp Cams Pro Lube
2 GM Valve Cover Gaskets
2 GM water pump gaskets
GM crank bolt
GM timing cover seal
GM timing cover gasket
F13 Camshaft 230/232 595/585 114
160F thermostat
Precision Race Components Dual Valve Spring Kit (Includes dual springs rated to .650 lift, titanium retainers, seats, intake & exhaust seals)
FMS 7.400" Chromemoly Pushrods
Pacesetter Y-pipe
Pacesetter LTs - coated
EGR/AIR block-off set
Header gaskets
Header bolts
3500/2.1 fuddleracing Torque converter
Trans Go shift kit
B&M tranny cooler
NGK TR55 plugs
MSD Wires
tb bypass kit

1. For the coolant, all you need is 1 Gallon of DexCool and 1 Gallon of Distilled Water.
2. I used 9 quarts of Dexron III with the TC swap and the installation of the cooler.
3. I used (2) 24" extensions and a universal swivel for the upper tranny bolts.
4. Don't need the pro lube, just use new oil.
5. Save your money on the rockers. The stock rockers are just fine.
6. Depending on how old the car is, replace the front seal in the transmission. These are ~$5 from a parts store.
7. Get an LS6 Intake, if you don't have one already.
That is my $0.02
